samiallen 1 Posted March 28, 2016 New to the group and enjoy reading everyone's journeys. Surgery is Friday and getting a little nervous. Having open VSG and worried about the recovery phase. Anyone have this procedure and can share some thoughts? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SassyNanny 311 Posted March 28, 2016 Best wishes. Why are you having to have open surgery if I may ask? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samiallen 1 Posted March 28, 2016 Doctor prefers that and said it was best since I am removing gallbladder and appendix. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TipTop in TX 81 Posted March 29, 2016 Sometimes doctors do the procedures they are most comfortable with based on the circumstances. I know all those procedures can be done laparoscopically, but maybe in your instance that is the best approach. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
